Do you have any tricks to ease the process or adapt somehow beforehand? Curiosity to know if anyone stopping washing hands, eating old food/leftovers…

Before I departed to travel/work throughout China I checked in with my MD and ND (naturopathic doctor) with much the same questions as you have posted.
As has already been stated by others my MD recommended shots and cypro – which I anticipated.
My ND however took me on a slightly different course and suggested I improve my gut health with pro-biotics before departure.
This was a new concept to me at the time.
I started the daily pro-biotic (apparently a product developed by/with NASA for the Space program) and immediately noticed an enormous difference in mood, energy and stamina during exercise.
This initially surprised me as I considered myself in excellent health.
I have become a big believer in the importance of gut health or biome in general.
He also recommended a natural antibiotic GSE or grapefruit seed extract which I still use to deal with moderate bugs and viruses while travelling or at home.
One thing I remember Ted Simon commenting in one of his books was how when his mood was seriously down (i believe while jailed upon arrival in SA) or he was very tired his susceptibility to illness noticeably increased.
HTH - Have a good trip
